Signs it's a true emergency
Some plumbing problems can wait for a normal appointment. Others can't. A true emergency usually involves water you can't stop, a risk to your home's structure, or a health and safety concern. That includes a burst or actively leaking pipe, a sewer backup coming into the house, no water at all, a gas smell near a water heater or gas line, or flooding from a failed sump pump during a storm.
If water is actively spreading, or you can smell gas, treat it as an emergency and call us right away rather than waiting to see if it gets worse.
What to do immediately
- Shut off the water at the main shutoff valve, or at the fixture's individual shutoff if you can identify the source.
- If you smell gas, leave the house and call from outside before calling your gas utility and us.
- Turn off electricity to any area with standing water, if you can do so safely from a dry, unaffected breaker panel.
- Move valuables and furniture away from the water if it's safe to do so.
- Call us and describe what's happening as clearly as you can — that helps us prepare for what we'll need on arrival.
What not to do
- Don't ignore a gas smell or assume it will pass — leave the area and call it in.
- Don't use electrical outlets or appliances in a flooded area.
- Don't pour chemical drain cleaners into a backed-up drain — they can make a sewer backup worse and are a safety risk to whoever works on the line next.
- Don't wait until morning if water is actively flowing and you can't stop it at the shutoff.
Our response process
When you call with an emergency, we ask a few quick questions to understand what's happening and what to bring. We prioritize active water damage, gas concerns, and complete water loss, and get to you as quickly as we can.
Response time matters more in a spread-out service area like ours. We cover Armonk, Pleasantville, Mount Kisco, Yonkers, Bedford, Scarsdale, and Greenwich, and a burst pipe in one of those towns doesn't wait any longer than one in another. Being locally based means we're not routing a call through a national dispatch center or sending someone from far outside the area — we know these towns and plan our routes accordingly.
Winter is when we see the most true emergencies. A hard freeze can crack a pipe in an unheated crawl space or exterior wall. Often you won't notice until a thaw, when the water finally starts flowing. If that's your situation, our frozen pipe repair during a cold snap page covers what that looks like in more detail, and our how we handle a burst pipe page walks through the repair itself.
When to call a pro
Not every plumbing problem needs an emergency call, and we'd rather tell you that honestly than send someone out for something that can wait. A slow drain, a running toilet, a dripping faucet, or a water heater that's simply getting older but still working are all things we can schedule as a routine appointment, usually within a day or two.
The difference comes down to whether water is actively causing damage right now, or whether it's an inconvenience you can safely live with until a scheduled visit. If you're not sure which one you're dealing with, call us and describe it — we'll tell you straight whether it needs to jump the line.
A few habits lower the odds of an emergency call in the first place: know where your main water shutoff is before you need it, disconnect and drain outdoor hoses before the first hard freeze, keep cabinet doors open under sinks on exterior walls during cold snaps, and don't ignore small leaks or slow drains that could point to a bigger problem forming. For preparing your home ahead of severe weather more broadly, FEMA publishes practical guidance on protecting your home's pipes and water systems before a winter storm hits.
Frequently asked questions

What should I do first if a pipe bursts?
Shut off the water at the main valve if you can reach it safely, then call us. Stopping the flow of water matters more than anything else in the first few minutes.

What if I smell gas near my water heater?
Leave the house immediately, call your gas utility and us from a safe distance, and don't turn any switches or appliances on or off inside.
Which towns do you cover for emergency calls?
We serve Armonk, Pleasantville, Mount Kisco, Yonkers, Bedford, Scarsdale, and Greenwich for both emergency and routine plumbing service.
Will I know the cost before you start emergency repairs?
Yes. Even for urgent calls, we explain the problem and give you a clear price before we begin any work.
